Did anyone not pass the Pulmonary Function Test and still get the surgery?

I have been complaining to my doctor for a couple of years now that I'm always tired, short of breath, and feel like a weight is sitting on my chest. They've always said either 1)Lose weight, you're too heavy OR 2)You're just having anxiety. WELL, guess what! I just had my PFT's and I failed them and now they think I may have asthma or something else and I need more testing and possibly medication. That being said, has anyone failed their PFT's and not had surgery delayed? I REALLY don't want to put off the surgery. Also, can being overweight in and of itself cause the problems I've described? THANK YOU!!!!
